Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Post-doctoral fellowship in theory and simulations of inelastic electron scattering
Announcement date: 21st of April 2016
Closing date: 9th of May 2016
Inelastic electron scattering provides a wealth of information about studied materials with high spatial resolution, down to atomic resolution in a modern aberration corrected transmission electron microscope. Detailed understanding of the observed signals is facilitated by simulations. Post-doctoral researcher will perform simulations of spectroscopic experiments, combining inelastic electron scattering with dynamical diffraction effects. The work will also involve electronic structure calculations and/or molecular dynamics simulations using codes such as WIEN2k, FPLO, SIESTA, LAMMPS, etc. Analytical development of theory and its implementation is also planned.
The applicant is expected to have a PhD degree in Physics, or equivalent, with a good background in quantum mechanics, scattering theory and solid-state physics. Previous experience in molecular dynamics simulations, ab-initio electronic structure calculations of magnetic properties and spectra (XAS or EELS/ELNES), and dynamical diffraction effects will be considered as an extra merit. The application should include a statement of research interest, CV, a copy of PhD thesis, list of publications and other relevant materials, if available. Also, letter(s) of recommendation should be included.
The post-doctoral position is open for one year with a possibility of prolongation.
